:00:00. > :00:00.Erik Lamela having a good night at White Hart Lane. We will also hear
:00:00. > :00:13.from Alastair Cook about who might open the batting with him in South
:00:14. > :00:18.Africa. -- the destinies of the Europa league teams.
:00:19. > :00:21.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:22. > :00:24.With me are the Guardian's political correspondent Rowena Mason
:00:25. > :00:27.and the Independent's economics editor Ben Chu.
:00:28. > :00:30.The Telegraph leads with our top story tonight, the delayed
:00:31. > :00:35.The paper says the CBI has branded it "gutless".
:00:36. > :00:40.The same story dominates the Times front page with claims that
:00:41. > :00:47.the owner of British Airways could threaten to "give up on Heathrow"
:00:48. > :00:49.The Metro reports on more weather misery in Cumbria, describing how
:00:50. > :00:52.residents in Glenridding fled the village as flooding returned.
:00:53. > :00:55.According to the Independent private investors are being enticed
:00:56. > :01:02."Obesity in women as dangerous as terror threat" is the Mail's
:01:03. > :01:05.headline, after comments by England's Chief Medical Officer.
:01:06. > :01:08.the Guardian leads with the latest in a series of allegations
:01:09. > :01:16.And the Express claims that the number of asylum seekers coming
:01:17. > :01:26.to the UK has increased by 60% in three months.
:01:27. > :01:31.We are going to start with Heathrow, and the delay in the decision about
:01:32. > :01:35.whether there would be another runway. They are getting a lot of
:01:36. > :01:45.flak from the authorities on this one. They are, gutless was one word
:01:46. > :01:49.used to describe David Cameron for delaying the decision for another
:01:50. > :01:52.six months. It is not hard to see why they are up in arms, they
:01:53. > :01:58.commissioned this report to determine where the new airport
:01:59. > :02:01.capacity should be. They came out after that saying it should be at
:02:02. > :02:04.Heathrow, and everyone assume that after the election was over there
:02:05. > :02:09.could be a quick decision because it would not be so politically toxic.
:02:10. > :02:17.But they have found it is politically toxic even though the
:02:18. > :02:21.general election has passed. It is suggested that this is all about the
:02:22. > :02:31.London mayoral elections, because Sadiq Khan said he would... The Tory
:02:32. > :02:35.candidate said that he would resign if they gave it the go-ahead. So
:02:36. > :02:40.they are going to take the decision six months after that election is
:02:41. > :02:42.over. I suppose the government, Patrick McLauchlan and David Cameron
:02:43. > :02:51.could have taken a decision that it would be Gatwick. That would have
:02:52. > :02:54.solved the problem, wouldn't it? Possibly, but it is suggested that
:02:55. > :03:00.Heathrow is poor will be the preferred option, but so is Gatwick.
:03:01. > :03:06.-- bobbly. It seems that David Cameron would rather take all the
:03:07. > :03:12.sound and fury from Labour for one-day calling him gutless and
:03:13. > :03:17.shambolic over this decision, it won't last all that long. Not only
:03:18. > :03:25.that, he has several cabinet ministers who could potentially
:03:26. > :03:29.resign over the issue as well. Their constituencies would be affected by
:03:30. > :03:36.Heathrow, for example. So they would resign, some might resign? She
:03:37. > :03:39.hasn't said it, she has kept quiet on Heathrow while a cabinet
:03:40. > :03:43.minister, but it is a possibility that that could happen. That might
:03:44. > :03:48.have been part of the calculation? It all seems very political, a cynic
:03:49. > :03:53.would say. Absolutely, it is most likely to be the London mayoral
:03:54. > :03:57.election, but also factoring in all of these discontents who would
:03:58. > :04:04.create a lot of opposition if he did give the go-ahead to Heathrow. OK,
:04:05. > :04:10.the CBI, business leaders up in arms as well as some politicians, the
:04:11. > :04:17.front page of The Times. BA threat to abandon Heathrow will double the
:04:18. > :04:24.losses, according to the paper. This is another interest in the story. It
:04:25. > :04:29.underlines the number of different angles from which David Cameron is
:04:30. > :04:33.being bombarded with lobbying. Gatwick has mounted a huge campaign
:04:34. > :04:39.to say they want the expansion, Heathrow is lobbying very hard, and
:04:40. > :04:42.now Willie Walsh on BA is saying that the pricetag on Heathrow is too
:04:43. > :04:47.expensive, even though Heathrow is still the preferred option. It is
:04:48. > :04:53.another bit of headache for the PM to negotiate when he does it
:04:54. > :04:58.eventually take this decision. When this is being debated ad infinitum
:04:59. > :05:07.in the decision put further into the future of stomach, -- the decision
:05:08. > :05:12.is put further into the future, with all the different other airports
:05:13. > :05:18.around Europe, that is what they are competing with. That is why business
:05:19. > :05:23.people want a decision sooner rather than later. Yes, it is not only
:05:24. > :05:31.about businesses go, but about the quality of life of those who live
:05:32. > :05:35.under the runways. There is always the idea that we need a big hub
:05:36. > :05:39.airport in the south-east, but do we need that? Do we need a place where
:05:40. > :05:44.people just change planes and fly to New York? How does it benefit the UK
:05:45. > :05:48.economy? It benefits Heathrow because people go shopping when they
:05:49. > :05:52.are waiting for their plane, that is that what the country needs? Are the
:05:53. > :06:05.patterns of airline use going to follow the way that it has been in
:06:06. > :06:13.recent decades? Perhaps it won't. OK, let's go to the Times... No, the
:06:14. > :06:25.Independent. The scandal of buy to let care homes. Speculators been
:06:26. > :06:27.promised 10% per year returns. It seems an extraordinary amount, the
:06:28. > :06:32.terms that this investment company is offering, and we have already had
:06:33. > :06:38.the situation of private equity investors squeezing every last penny
:06:39. > :06:43.of profit out of care homes, although potentially quite a small
:06:44. > :06:47.scale, this is another example of what seems to be a lack of
:06:48. > :06:54.regulation in the sector. That is what this has revealed, but 10%
:06:55. > :07:00.return is pretty good, isn't it? If you have some spare cash and someone
:07:01. > :07:05.offers you 10% in this environment it means they are taking a lot of
:07:06. > :07:11.risk. That is what is frightening, how can they possibly generate that?
:07:12. > :07:16.Will it be by squeezing the quality of care available to people in care
:07:17. > :07:19.homes, or by running it in a way that it is likely to go bust, which
:07:20. > :07:22.is bad for people in the care home in the taxpayers who would
:07:23. > :07:28.ultimately have to battle it out? It really underlines the fact that this
:07:29. > :07:39.is not a very well regulated sector -- Bailiff out. -- bail it out. This
:07:40. > :07:47.brings home how unsatisfactory it is and how they will be pressure as the
:07:48. > :07:50.population ages and the pressure increases to properly regulate and
:07:51. > :07:59.make sure this exploitation can't happen. Local councils have been
:08:00. > :08:05.allowed to raise rates by 2% in order to cover social care. Many are
:08:06. > :08:09.saying that is not enough. The sector is in a lot of difficulty at
:08:10. > :08:13.the moment, and this sort of highlights the lengths to which some
:08:14. > :08:19.private care home operators are going to to raise cash to build new
:08:20. > :08:27.homes, it doesn't seem very satisfactory. Let's move on, back to
:08:28. > :08:34.the Telegraph, and Jeremy Corbyn is on the front page. Jeremy Corbyn in
:08:35. > :08:40.the con artist accused of funding ISIL. This is a strange story.
:08:41. > :08:46.Jeremy Corbyn appears to have written a letter on behalf of
:08:47. > :08:51.someone who was a constituent or whose family is a constituent of
:08:52. > :08:55.his. He did this in May, and he was making the case that this person
:08:56. > :08:59.should get bail, and it transpires that later in the court case he has
:09:00. > :09:06.been implicated in being part of a gang that was defrauding old people
:09:07. > :09:09.out of their life savings, and separately the Metropolitan Police
:09:10. > :09:14.have said there is a link to some funding that ended up in Syria. So
:09:15. > :09:19.it is quite a chain of events, and we should stress that Jeremy Corbyn
:09:20. > :09:25.probably had no idea there was a to terror this case, and it is not
:09:26. > :09:27.particularly unusual for an MP to lobby and intervene on behalf of
:09:28. > :09:34.their constituents to give them a character reference or a description
:09:35. > :09:41.of them that suggests they should get bail. The problem with this is
:09:42. > :09:45.that Jeremy Corbyn is perceived in the public mind as having a weakness
:09:46. > :09:50.on the issue of security. There have been a lot of stories on this, so it
:09:51. > :09:53.is unfortunate. It doesn't help his public image at a time when he is
:09:54. > :09:58.trying to move away from this argument. Just to be clear, Jeremy
:09:59. > :10:02.Corbyn had no idea he was a con artist, he had no idea that he might
:10:03. > :10:07.have some relationship with Syria in terms of Islamic State. Yes, but as
:10:08. > :10:22.Ravindran says, it is terrible timing. -- Rowena. Many people have
:10:23. > :10:28.been demanding an apology for the PM's characterisation of Jeremy
:10:29. > :10:34.Corbyn as a terrorist sympathiser. This is just terrible timing, that
:10:35. > :10:38.he has vouched for someone who has defrauded people of money that has
:10:39. > :10:42.ended up going to the Middle East. This happens a lot, an MP will have
:10:43. > :10:46.someone come to them and ask for a character reference if they are
:10:47. > :10:50.involved in some kind of activity. I don't think it is that unusual for
:10:51. > :10:58.an MP to try to help out a constituent who is facing legal
:10:59. > :11:01.problems. There have been things in the past I think about MPs getting
:11:02. > :11:07.into trouble with the families of them is when they have tried to
:11:08. > :11:12.argue on their behalf in a court case, so it is not the first time it
:11:13. > :11:21.has ever happened. It is just very fortunate timing -- unfortunate
:11:22. > :11:26.timing. This one, obesity in women as dangerous as the terror threat.
:11:27. > :11:37.That is not exact live what she claimed. So it is wrong? Let's move
:11:38. > :11:43.on them! She said that obesity is a serious health risk, and it should
:11:44. > :11:46.be classified on this civil register of emergencies. Also on that list
:11:47. > :11:54.are things like terrorism and flooding and war, so she is saying
:11:55. > :11:57.it should be considered to be a serious civil risk. That is not
:11:58. > :12:03.saying it is as bad as terrorism, but we should take it seriously. She
:12:04. > :12:07.is trying to say it is very serious and we should take it seriously. She
:12:08. > :12:13.is the chief medical officer, the head doctor of the UK. She has an
:12:14. > :12:19.audience now! Let's see the message gets through. Is it any worse for
:12:20. > :12:25.women than men? This report is actually all about women's health,
:12:26. > :12:29.which is why she is focusing on women and obesity, and she has made
:12:30. > :12:37.a number of other recommendations as well. One thing she says is that you
:12:38. > :12:42.are not allowed to eat for two during pregnancy, which is surely
:12:43. > :12:51.one of the silver lining is! Very sad. Worse than terrorism! OK, the
:12:52. > :12:58.headline draws us in, the facts are little bit less... Obesity and
:12:59. > :13:03.terror are not really things people are used to seeing in the same
:13:04. > :13:12.storyline. Finally, to the big story of the night, celebrity bake off.
:13:13. > :13:39.Here are some photographs of their competitors. John Simpson included.
:13:40. > :13:51.Alison Steadman, Wil Young. Ed Balls is one of the contestants, and he
:13:52. > :13:55.was famously once described as the most boring than in politics. I
:13:56. > :14:00.suppose he has nothing else to do, why would he get involved in this
:14:01. > :14:04.kind of thing? Maybe he just loves baking. I think it is more
:14:05. > :14:08.surprising that we have Samantha Cameron on a given that she doesn't
:14:09. > :14:13.really appear talking or giving interviews on television very
:14:14. > :14:18.extensively. She has been quite a quiet wife of the PM. We have a
:14:19. > :14:23.quote from her where she is lifting the lid on home life with David
:14:24. > :14:29.Cameron, saying that he and their daughter Nancy are very keen cooks
:14:30. > :14:38.and very competitive. Marshmallows, Carmont and lemon drizzle cakes --
:14:39. > :14:48.almond. What would this have been vetted? Would it have gone through
:14:49. > :14:53.the PR team at Number Ten? Absolutely, they would have seen
:14:54. > :15:01.that this was a satisfactory activity for the wife of the PM to
:15:02. > :15:06.do. As long as it doesn't get onto political conversation. Many people
:15:07. > :15:13.have been critical about her sconce, especially if they don't come out
:15:14. > :15:17.right. Is this what we are going to see politicians or ex- politicians
:15:18. > :15:22.getting involved with more in the future? I don't think I have ever
:15:23. > :15:25.seen anyone like that on this kind of show. If you want to reach the
:15:26. > :15:31.great British public there is no better way than going on the great
:15:32. > :15:37.British bake off. If politicians want to get their message across in
:15:38. > :15:44.a soft way, this is the ideal vehicle, just to show that the walls
:15:45. > :15:48.is -- Ed Balls is in a situation to capitalise on it. It is not like
:15:49. > :15:57.they are going into the jungle or anything. I suppose neither of them
:15:58. > :16:07.are actually active politicians at the moment. Thank you so much for
:16:08. > :16:12.looking at some of the stories behind the headlines. Many thanks.
:16:13. > :16:25.Much more coming up, now time for Sportsday.
:16:26. > :16:29.Coming up on the programme: Erik Lamela's hattrick takes Spurs
